How to apply color in Markdown?

Question

I want to use Markdown to store textual information. But quick googling says Markdown does not support color. Also StackOverflow does not support color. Same as in case of G

Answer 1

In Jekyll I was able to add some color or other styles to a bold element (should work with all other elements as well).

I started the "styling" with {: and end it }. There is no space allowed between element and curly bracket!

**My Bold Text, in red color.**{: style="color: red; opacity: 0.80;" }

Will be translated to html:

My Bold Text, in red color.
